# Deeplinks

They are used to send users straight to specific in-app locations, saving users the time and energy locating a particular page themselves – significantly improving the user experience.

Deep linking does this by specifying a custom URL scheme (iOS Universal Links) or an intent URL (on Android devices) that opens your app if it’s already installed. Deep links can also be set to direct users to specific events or pages, which could tie into campaigns that you may want to run.

Natively supports a few ways to set up deep links:

* [Firebase](/natively-platform/features/deeplinks/firebase.md) (Deprecated since August 2025)
* [Native (Associated Domain)](/natively-platform/features/deeplinks/universal-links.md)
* [Branch](/natively-platform/features/deeplinks/branch.io.md)[.io](/natively-platform/features/deeplinks/branch.io.md)
